"As Long As You Love Me" was the second single from the Backstreet Boys' very first album. Released in 1997, the song soon became one of the band's biggest hits and is now considered one of their signature songs. It was impossible not to know this song back then, and it has since become a classic throwback song for the millennial generation! Maintaining the fun upbeat groove, layers of harmonies, passionate melody lines, and dynamic contrasts of the original, this arrangement for string quartet is just as much fun to play as it is to listen to, and it's sure to get everybody singing along! This chart will be perfect for pop concerts, solo & ensemble concerts, weddings, receptions, and any other occasion that needs some boy band throwback nostalgia. Rated advanced-intermediate - there's nothing too crazy in any of the parts, but the violins have lots of interesting syncopated rhythms and go up to 4th pos. on the E string. Playable for students and sightreadable for professionals.

"I Want It That Way" is one of the Backstreet Boys' biggest hits, and anyone who grew up in the 90's and early 2000's probably knows this one by heart! This version for string quartet will be perfect for pop concerts, solo & ensemble concerts, weddings, receptions, and any other occasion that needs some boy band throwback nostalgia - you're sure to get everyone singing along! Full of catchy melodies, beautiful layered harmonies, and a danceable groove held down by the viola and cello, this arrangement is just as much fun to listen to as it is to play. Rated intermediate - there's nothing very difficult in this chart (except possibly intonation when the key changes to B major at the end!), and it will definitely be playable for students and easily sightreadable for professionals.
